"Savory" New Start-up Serving Up Tasty Restaurant Videos

I think there are some smart entrepreneurs out there who are going to disintermediate traditional media with online video tools. Chris and Jennifer McBride will really shake up the city guide business with Savory Cities, their new start-up that creates little video guides to restaurants.




They've been tirelessly taping over 100 restaurants in New York and about 20 or so in San Francisco, where their local site launched this week. The videos are informal and informational -- they let the chefs tell their stories and show their cuisine. Chris tells me they hope to expand the business in many U.S. and overseas markets. He sees this as primarily an advertiser-supported business but also expects a strong content syndication model to develop.

I bet these guys will take on the city guide/metro magazine world, food publications -- maybe even the Food Channel! Keep at it Chris and Jennifer -- and it's great how you stay so slim hanging out at all these wonderful eateries.

sure...good idea, but crowd-sourcing is why Youtube is successful. If you have to tape over 935,000 restaurants (with 70% failure rate) you will never ever be done.
